Selective oxidation of alcohols with H2O2 catalyzed by zinc polyoxometalate immobilized on multi-wall carbon nanotubes modified with ionic liquid

The selective oxidation of various alcohols with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by [PZnMo2W9O39]5−, ZnPOM, supported on ionic liquids-modified with MWCNTs, MWCNT-APIB, is reported. The major advantages of ionic liquid-supported catalyst were its high catalytic activity reusability.
